I'm delighted to share my opinion piece, published today in @Nature journal. It explores how Nepal's claim to the Loss and Damage Fund after Rasuwa disaster, and the decision that follows, could open a new path for global climate justice.👉 https://t.co/J3ffcFDMpk
A Chinese drone operator seems to have inadvertently recorded video of the ice-rock avalanche as it happened on the Nepal side, providing indications of the sequence of events on the north face of Langtang Lirung on 26 August.

President Trump calls the deadly flooding in Nepal a “terrible thing” and says the U.S. has offered the country “any help that they need.”
“We are sending aid and we’ve spoken to the leadership and we’ve let them know anything they want, we’ll have,” Trump says.
URGENT:
My parents, Ramesh and Neelam Sharma are currently missing following the flood at the Nepal-Tibet/China border. They are both U.S. Citizens.
If you have any direct contacts in Nepal, Gyirong/Tibet, local hospitals, rescue operation, government/ media - PLEASE DM me.
Every video emerging from Nepal is somehow even scarier than the last. A peaceful valley under a bright, completely normal sky and then suddenly look at how that wall of gushing water sweeps away everything in its path. #Nepal
An Amercian member of congress is threatened by foreign terrorists carrying American rifles, backed by a foreign military paid for by American taxpayers, and the US ambassador to that country says not a word in defense of his own countryman, and instead uses his social media accounts to promote his own vapid cable news appearances, which amount to propaganda for that same foreign country. It’s too much, too insulting and humiliating to America. This is how revolutions start. For the sake our nation, Mike Huckabee should be removed from his post immediately.
@Jerusalem_Post What happened is sad, but this feels like lazy journalism. Most Nepalis wouldn’t even recognize Hebrew, which makes the story seem off. On the other hand, the victim may have personal reasons to frame it as an antisemitism-related incident, for understandable motives.
Dear GenZ ! Your courage, determination and sacrifice has given this nation the hope that we had almost lost. This country will now change for better. But we need to stop and think now. Please go home. Let your student leaders and citizen leaders take it from here. 🇳🇵
saying it’s a “gen-z protest” or “social media ban protest” minimizes the gravity of what’s happening in nepal and the pent up anger of the people. it’s our responsibility now to call out any media house incorrectly portraying it as such!
What’s the government’s official update? Where and how are they planning to share it? Through smoke signals?
These incompetent cowards have blocked the fastest and most accessible channels of communication. 😡
Even if these kids crossed the barricades, damaged the perimeter wall, they are still unarmed kids. The parliament was not in session. If the police had simply been mobilized in sufficient numbers with non-lethal weapons/water cannons, this tragedy cud’ve been avoided.
घाइतेलाई एम्बुलेस्नमा हाल्न लाग्दा यसरी गोली हान्न पाईन्छ? यस्तो त War Zone दुई देश बीचको युद्धग्रस्थ क्षेत्रमा पनि हुँदैन। आफ्नै साना नानीहरू माथि यति क्रूर अमानविय आक्रमण?
In a system and in a fight for a system where only winners are Hindu Upper Caste Nepali speaking groups from Hills, a Madheshi Dalit has become the first victim. What an ironic tragedy!
